There are two common ways to set up a development environment for a microcontroller (embedded) project:
IDE - Use the integrated development environment (IDE) provided by the vendor. CLI - Use the toolchain from the command-line (CLI), build with make (Makefile), and use your code editor of choice.
The first is the most straightforward way and is what I demonstrate in this video. I show how to set up Code Composer Studio (CCStudio), the IDE that TI provides for their microcontrollers. I install it on Linux and get the Blink LED example program to run on the evaluation board (MSP430 Launchpad). In the next video, I will demonstrate the second way, which is the one I prefer.
See tools page for more info about my Linux setup.
